UGH. I hate what this re-signing has done to people's (myself included) perception of Cleary. That video just made me want to hug him and beg him to retire. Also, did anyone else notice he referred to himself as "Danny?"

I love these. It may seem silly, but it's raising awareness and leading to huge increases in donations!

He plays for the Dertrert Rerd Werngs

Good article. Also, "Kronwall has remained an effective No. 1 defenseman for the team." SUCK IT HATERZ

:lol:The whole first part of this thread owes me a new keyboard. 10/10 would recommend for the lulz.

I get it, and if you would have asked an adult me to make that trade back then my answer might have been different. Then again, Stevie was way cuter than Gretzky, so maybe adult 80's me would have still declined the trade

Nope. But that's why I'm not a GM Well that and a plethora of other reasons, I suppose...

100 times out of a 100 I would decline to trade Stevie. Even for The Great One. Stevie was our heart and soul, and brought so much more to this team than just points or defensive capabilities. He was my hero growing up, and while I can't say I wouldn't have still been a Wings fan, boy those years would have felt different for me. Would make this trade 100/100.

Aw man I can't wait until they do one of those for Hampus Melen. Then we can have a Hampus Melen thread, and I can get a Hampus Melen jersey to wear to games at Hampus Melen Arena in honor of our new captain Hampus Melen. The future sounds amazing! But anyway Alexei Marchenko! Edit: Alexey? Alexee? Hampus?

Now that I've been to a WC (SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY), I can officially declare that I couldn't possibly care less about their stoopid outdoor games.

Good job, Rafi.

Ugh I hate lame beer it's like hey I just wanted some good effing beer and all I have is this lame beer why does the universe hate me? Why does the universe hate Andreas Lilja? Why was Dmitry Mironov under appreciated as a Red Wing? Why does bread mold so fast when you leave it out on the counter, and why does that little green s*** smell so bad? We should all just give up, we'll never have all the answers.

Whenever I see the words "Larry Murphy," I say it in my head (and sometimes out loud with my mouth) like "Charlie Murphy" as Rick James from the Chapelle Show. Just thought everyone should know.

Larionov. I don't know that he was "under appreciated" per se, but I feel like he had such a fantastic mind and hockey sense while not being the most physically skilled, or strongest, or fastest, etc. He could read a play and position himself a step ahead every time.

I do. People just don't like to admit it. I am in no way saying that the people who dislike him here at LGW do so for race-related reasons, but the reality is that prejudice is, unfortunately, alive and well within the hockey community. Does he have a bit of moxie? Sure. But if he were a white Canadian *some* people wouldn't look twice at his actions or have a problem with his "attitude." I don't think there is anything over the top about P.K.'s actions, and he is a young kid who will continue to mature. Mods, feel free to delete if you think this will stir s*** or incite politics discussions, but I felt it needed to be said.

@THNKenCampbell: Important not on PK Subban contact: No trade clause does not kick in until after the 2015-16 season.

Some more info in the critic reviews: http://m.imdb.com/title/tt3264102/externalreviews?ref_=m_tt_ov_rt Apparently it premiered at Cannes. Can't wait. That laugh that Fetisov gives at the end of the trailer... Edit: thanks for the book recommendation. Will definitely check it out.

For whatever reason (boredom, schadenfreude, actual interest-take your pick) I am fascinated* with this situation: @THNKenCampbell: Canadiens playing a dangerous game with P.K. Subban. My blog. http://t.co/qQEO7rdmMW *exaggeration I don't blame the Habs org for not wanting to pay an RFA 8.5 mil, but how do you not botch this relationship if they do, as the article suggests, take him to arbitration twice? Is he going to want to stay a Hab as UFA if his RFA negotiations are always tense? Because I would looooove to have P.K. in a Wings uni...

Your lips to YFMB's ears... Minus the whole whining about being left off the Canadian Olympic team and daring to give lip to my lord and-er, captain the honorable Pope Yzerman the 1st.

Do you honestly see Kronwall's reduction in hits as a lack of "bravery?" As the Wings' #1 Dman, the onus is on him to be defensively responsible at all times. He can't afford to take himself out of the play (who's going to cover-Smith?) in order to deliver a soul-crushing hit, the very type the league seems intent on cracking down on, especially if someone's hurt on the play. I don't see that as a lack of bravery, I see that as Kronner recognizing that he is now a leader on this team and adjusting his game accordingly. As for predictions, I can't wait to see how a pain-free Z plays. If he truly feels better than he has in years, he's going to rep that C beyond our wildest dreams. *lady boner* Same with Pav and The Knee of Infinite Sorrow. The kids are going to continue to play with swag and light a fire under everyone's ball sack. I love the smell of burnt pubes in the morning. Particularly if that morning is hosting a nationally televised NBC game. Suck it, Edzo. I lost a lot of confidence in Howard last year, and from interviews I've read it sounds like he understands that his play was unacceptable. He's the big question mark for me this year--when he's on, the Wings are a machine. When he's off we're a bunch of monkeys humping various footballs all over the ice whilst pinching uncontrollably at the wrong times and firing off slappers over the glass resulting in ill-timed penalties and a growing sense of ennui. It's horrible. #resurrectionofweiss2k15 Anyway, while I'm certainly not counting poultry, I do see that there could be some positive things to look forward to this season, despite some of the glaring holes remaining unaddressed.

Great news!

Huh, maybe it's just me but whenever we had ugly sweater parties it was kind of expected that people would go to Goodwill or a garage sale or something and the person that found the ugliest would win a prize (something alcohol related, natch). Because I would totally buy that sweater if I saw it at a garage sale. Just sayin'. So let me know if any of you plan on getting one. And then let me know if you plan on having a garage sale. P.S. The alternate sweater has CANDY CANES on it.

That's what I'm talking about! I love me an ugly sweater, but isn't the whole point that they're cheap?!

These would be amazing... If they didn't actually expect people to spend that much money on them.
